Eau Gallie Electric’s NAVAIDS department recently completed Belle Glade Municipal Airport – Airfield Lighting project in Palm Beach County. The scope of our work included comprehensive site preparation, involving the demolition of existing lighting fixtures and control systems, ensuring FAA compliance and providing adequate illumination for safe aircraft operations. Additionally, we relocated and upgraded the Pilot Activated Lighting Control (PALC) system to enhance functionality and compatibility with the new solar lights.
Belle Glade Municipal Airport serves as a vital hub for general aviation in Palm Beach County, supporting the local agricultural industry through crop spraying services provided by its on-site tenants. Our work to upgrade and improve the airfield lighting system ensures the safety and efficiency of aircraft operations, particularly during crucial activities such as crop spraying. By enhancing visibility and navigation capabilities, our project contributes to the continued success and sustainability of agricultural operations at the airport, benefiting both the local community and the broader agriculture industry.
Benefits of Solar-Powered Airfield Lighting
The advantages of solar-powered airfield lighting are numerous and impactful:
- Fast and Easy Deployment: With no need for conduit or trenching, the installation process was streamlined and efficient, minimizing disruptions to airport operations.
- Cost-Effectiveness: The use of solar power significantly reduces operational costs associated with traditional lighting systems, making it an economically viable solution for municipal airports like Belle Glade.
- Longevity and Low Maintenance: Solar-powered LED lights boast a long life expectancy and require minimal maintenance, ensuring reliable performance over the years.
- Versatile Applications: From taxiway lighting to threshold edge illumination, solar-powered airfield lighting systems offer versatility to meet diverse operational needs.
